New York, New York - January 4, 2006 - New York's real estate mogul and founder of the Corcoran Group, Barbara Corcoran, is set to announce her top five picks for best places to live or simply visit if you're looking to shed some extra weight. Corcoran said these areas were chosen based on nine months of intensive research. "I had nearly 3,700 competitive brokers and residents from areas all around the country write in and suggest their top picks for unique areas," she said, "some of them were not valid and we threw those out, but many of them were and we carefully examined those." The areas that received multiple, sometimes numerous nominations were carefully considered. These nominated neighborhoods were then researched and compared based off of number of gyms, spas and health food stores, lack of easy transportation and fast food restaurants and average weight per resident. Corcoran then looked at current diet trends such as "The South Beach Diet" and the "French Diet" to come up with other unique places to slim down. This group was then condensed to top ten and eventually to the top five. The top places to lose weight in 2006 range from an Amish town in Indiana where food is made from scratch and daily chores and strenuous to a beautiful French city in Canada where meals are small and citizens walk everywhere! These top five areas are: (5)Shipshewana, Indiana (4) Port Townsend, Washington (3) Turnberry Isle, Florida (2) Mackinaw Island, Michigan (1) Old Quebec City, Canada For more information on these areas please visit BarbaraCorcoran.com. -- Tim Caldwell General Manager Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce tim@ptchamber.org http://www.ptchamber.org 360-385-7869 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
